Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If my first tip of Don't doesn't properly sink in, here are a few suggestions for the ideal employee at HHCI:Be a sycophantic suck-up with no spine.Be willing to work twice as many hours as you are compensated for.Be accepting and courteous when you are berated by the owner, his wife, or anyone else who shares their surname.Give up the right to be offended by sexist and racist comments, no matter how severe.Under no circumstances call anything to the attention of senior management that would lead them to believe that you do not worship the ground on which they walk."

What don't you like about working at Hal Hays Construction?

"I was classified as overtime exempt without being paid the CA state minimum for overtime exemption. I was used as a scapegoat for any and all computer malfunctions, including all untrained-user/operator errors. Even after confessing to my terrible claustrophobia, I was placed in an office that was previously used as a storage closet, with no windows and inadequate ventilation, and even after working a minimum of 50 hours a week for my six months there without ever being paid overtime, I was fired for lack of customer service the day I returned to work from my honeymoon. They also did not pay me for reporting to work that day. After being handed my walking papers by HR, the owner threatened my personal safety as I was leaving the building, if anything happens to my network."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I suggest that management mutiny the owners and begin treating employees as something better than the indentured servants they currently seem to be."
